Slot: Attributes (attributes)
Declares a relation that associates a Thing (or another attribute) with an attribute, where an attribute is an intrinsic characteristic, such as a quality, capability, disposition, function, or is an externally derived attribute determined from some descriptor (e.g. a quantity, position, label/identifier). Technically, this declaration is done via an AttributeSpecification that combines a predicate with a value declaration and the attribute-related slots of a Thing. Importantly, such attributes are declared inline, because they do not have a unique identifier. If an identifier is available, a Thing declaration (see relation), and a qualification of that relationship via a Statement (see characterized_by) should be preferred.

description: Declares a relation that associates a `Thing` (or another attribute)
with an attribute, where an attribute is an intrinsic characteristic, such as a
quality, capability, disposition, function, or is an externally derived attribute
determined from some descriptor (e.g. a quantity, position, label/identifier). Technically,
this declaration is done via an `AttributeSpecification` that combines a `predicate`
with a value declaration and the attribute-related slots of a `Thing`. Importantly,
such attributes are declared inline, because they do not have a unique identifier.
If an identifier is available, a `Thing` declaration (see `relation`), and a qualification
of that relationship via a `Statement` (see `characterized_by`) should be preferred.
